Primary and Business Continuity Services Combined
In a traditional business environment, all of the company's systems, phone connections and backups are located on the company premises. In the event of a fire or disruption to the building's phone or internet services the company experiences unnecessary downtime until the interruption is resolved.
By choosing services through the EdgeBCC you not only receive the value of highly reliable managed services for your daily operations, but you also receive them through a remote next-generation Business Continuity Center designed to be resilient against 200 mph winds, fire and human infiltration (both physical and virtual). Your company's critical business processes are provided through state-of-the-art equipment from IBM, Cisco and NetApp and are monitored and managed by a professional engineering staff 24x7x365. The facility receives its power from two separate power grids. In the event of a failure of both power feeds the system immediately switches to an Uninterruptible Power Supply and then to diesel generators.
Additional details on the Managed Services available through the EdgeBCC can be obtained from an Authorized Sales Agent.

EdgeBCC IT Services
Managed Backup
The Managed Backup service is a block-level incremental backup provided in two distinct flavors. The service initially backs up all of the data in the directory assigned and creates a point-in-time snapshot of the data. Subsequent backup transactions only involved the data blocks that have changed since the last snap, rather than the entire file. This creates a more efficient data backup and storage strategy, and allows for reliable and selective recovery. Since snaps are more efficient that full or incremental backup, several snaps can be down during the day (even during working hours) to optimize the Restore Point for the data.
Managed Backup services provide a reliable, automated and easily recoverable off-site copy of your critical business data as part of your company's business continuity plans.
- Managed Remote Backup - This is an incremental service for small and medium businesses with servers on premises. Managed Remote Backup is initiated through a full backup either over the wire, or to a portable storage device. Subsequent snaps are performed over a connection to the EdgeBCC data center.
- Managed Data Center Backup - Within the data center backups may be snapped directly to storage devices within the data center and can be copied to a secondary data center in the EdgeBCC network for additional security.
Server Hosting
On-premises servers are at risk. Many businesses of all sizes are moving their existing servers or allocating dedicated servers in a data center to take advantage of the clean/redundant power, fire suppression, managed/secure network environment and 24x7x365 monitoring and management.
- Dedicated Servers - The EdgeBCC data center can meet your dedicated hosting needs through dedicated Pentium 4 and Xeon processor servers up to IBM BladeServers with Raid 5 or Raid 10 SAN storage. Choosing a dedicated environment can greatly affect your cash flow as you are not obligated to purchase new hardware every 2-3 years. Hardware upgrades are part of your monthly service contract.
- Collocated Servers - Any existing, owned servers can be collocated within the EdgeBCC facility's data center fulfill a business continuity plan that requires critical processes to be moved off-premises. Collocated services take advantage of the data center's clean redundant power, and redundant network connectivity.
